Description
Delicious and easy roasted Brussels sprouts coated in a sweet and savory honey garlic glaze, perfect for busy weeknights or special occasions.
Ingredients
For the Honey Garlic Glaze
- 2 tablespoons honey (Use raw honey for better flavor.)
- 2-3 cloves garlic, minced or grated (Fresh garlic for maximum flavor.)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari (Use tamari for a gluten-free option.)
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice (For a tangy taste.)
For Roasting
- 1.5 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved (Choose firm and heavy sprouts.)
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil (Use avocado oil for higher smoke point.)
- 3/4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Trim the dry stem end off the Brussels sprouts, peel off any loose outer leaves, and cut them in half. If some are large, quarter them.
- Pat the Brussels sprouts dry to ensure they roast correctly.
Roasting
- In a mixing bowl, toss the halved Brussels sprouts with avocado oil, salt, and black pepper.
- Spread the Brussels sprouts out cut side down on the prepared sheet pan.
- Roast for 18 minutes, then flip and roast for another 6 to 10 minutes until browned and tender.
Glazing and Serving
- While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, stir together honey, garlic, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar in a bowl.
- Once the sprouts are done, toss them with the honey garlic glaze immediately and return them to the oven for another 2 to 3 minutes to set the glaze.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt if needed. Serve warm.
Notes
For a spicy twist, add red pepper flakes to the glaze. To keep the recipe vegan, replace honey with maple syrup or agave. For maximum crispiness, ensure Brussels sprouts are in a single layer during roasting.
